Welcome to 9th annual Madison Couch Crash!

A “Couch Crash” is a global invitation to visit a city to get to know the people, city, culture and Couchsurfing better. Couch Crashes are full of fun events that the local Couchsurfing community has organized in advance so you can get the most out of your time in Madison. It’s also a great time for Couchsurfers to socialize and gain experience hosting/surfing.

Madison’s 9th Annual Couch Crash will take place August 24th through August 27th. Save the date on your calendar, invite your friends, plan your road trip and join the Official CouchCrash Event Page so we can keep you up to date.

Also, we would really love to hear about all the things you loved and enjoyed in this event as well as if any challenges you faced while participating in this event, use this survey to let us know all about it.

Thank you and happy surfing!

For those of you who don’t know about Couch Crash…

**What the heck is a “Couch Crash”?**
Basically, it’s a weekend-long event designed to bring people together from all over the country (and sometimes the world) to hang out and have fun in a specific city. It’s an invitation to meet people, to visit a different place, and to experience another part of Couchsurfing culture. Come for a day or the whole weekend! Obviously, you can stay with local couchsurfers, but be sure to send your requests early.

**What exactly do we do?**
Each CouchCrash is different, but we try to offer a bunch of fun activities throughout the weekend. We like to pick things that we think make Madison special. We have been known to have a beer and cheese tour, various hiking or lake adventures, and one year we had a pilot flying guests over the city!

**Who is putting this on?**
The entire event is organized and hosted by Madison, WI couchsurfers.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at this year’s CouchCrash in Madison, Wisconsin!
